IGNORANCE OF Z. ANSAS.

A short time ago we received letter
from q friend VINO lives away back among
the Mills of Pennsylvania, in which, In
speaking of Wichita, tie said. "TDey
ciaitn u population of 10000; ! suppose
they may have 10000 My map shows
but 4 .OUO" And tnis Is JasJ the way IN
wnicn many OF The people Of The east J!dge
of Kansas.
They are unable to realize the fact that
every day the population Of good sized
Town is being poured into Kansas, and
that three fourths of il is coming 10 the
southwestern part Of the state. When
they hear Of the great growth Ut town
they consult some ancient map, and at once
credit the stories TO western Imagination,
because their map shows only q
village where city is claimed. And
when the great growth of the western
part of the state is spoken of, they hunt up
the old Mpntieths geography they used Id
ancient schOOldays and read.
"The territory of Kansas has some
fertile lauds in the eastern part, along the
Missouri river, aud for few miles back
from it; but for tho most part the soil is
uuproductlve, lit only for the habltation of
buffalo, vast heards of which roam over
Luc pidluS, duO vi WHY'S duo OlhCA WIN
beasts. The western part Of this territory
is sandy plain, upon which nothing will
grow but stunted grass known as buffalo
grass, and the sage bush. 1t is dreary
waste IF land and forms Part of that
Great American Desert that is the terror Of
travellers who cross the plains to the golden
shores of California.
An then these people know all about
it, and the wise editor sits down and
! writes learned editoria on the Kansas
boom. He does not, to be sure, repeat The
exploded theory that this is'a desert hand
TOR even the eastern editor learns some
thing-but his judgment is biased by these
Old fables and he endeavors TO write down
the boom.
It would be q great thing for the people
of the West if excursions of Eastern editors
could be formed ID come through our state
an see it as it is See how rapidly it is
gr OWING in population and how productive
| l, our soil. 1t is not disposition TO be-
little us that fills eastern Journals with
warnings to their readers against believing
| the will stories" that come to their ears
of the growth of Kansas. bu. it is ignorance
ignorance and ingrained conse va ism

carrying this country TO the front.-The

PRENT1s'S GOOD BYE"

The following are the last words OF
Noble Prentis In the Atchison Champion
Thursday:
The writer has SO often noticed the illu-
sionary hopes of newspaper salutatories
and the i'll concealed bitterness OF disap-
pointment in newspaper yaiedictorles. that
ne has shrunk from saving any thing per-
sunal to himself or his connection with the
Champion, now that he Is To leave his work
In AtcnlsOn.
But on reflection il seems to him ungra-
cious to leave those to whom every morn
ing (Mondays excepted) he has had some
thug u say for eight years, without some
Words of farewell.
To all, then, who have been kind to him
anu his, aud this kindness has been con-
tinuous, and has extended through one
DARK sickness and death, he extends his
gratitude In words which these friends
musl not take as any adequate expression
OF the feeling of the hea t. Alchison,
whatever fault it may have, Is kindly,
generous and hospllable town, and daily
exterience for eight years has. rs far as the
writer Is concerned, strengthened the belief
here expressed.

ever errors have been committed, this, 1t Is
believed, may be safely said, that the
Champion never contained line to make
any ulan or WOMAN worse; 10 lower or de-
grade any human being. This must re-
main rs a consolation amid the painful Con-
sciousness of many faults.

The Collector Of CUSTOMS Refuses
Them Free Passage Home.


Them Free Passage Home.
HALIFAX, N. s., July 2S-A dispatch
from Shelburno states that the schooner
Annie w Hodgdon has sailed, having been
released by the Collector Of Customs. 1t is
not known what arrangements have
been made respecting the ex-
penses, the payment Of which were
demanded by the Collector The
report is confirmed that the
Americans who were in the seine boats
seized at Souris were not allowed by
the Collector of Customs at that port to re-
turn TO Gloucester on other United States
fishing vessels as fishermen in distress.
United States Consular Agent Carleton ap-
piled to the collector for perlniS-
sion to forward them in that
manner, and the collector said he
could not grant the application. 1t is COLI
tended that there was no necessity for the
application, hut that if the consular agent
desired he should have requested the master
of any American vessel to take them, which
would not be u violation of any Canadian
| law or fisheries treaty.
STATUS OF TIE CASE.
If an American schooner happened to be
| i'll port it is to be presumed that she would
be there legally, taking advantage of the
| privileges and rights accorded 10 United
| States vessels, and as men castaway adrltt,
| as those belonging to the Col. French and
| the Argonaut are to be considered, they
\ would be carried home free of charge.
Therefore the placing of them on
| boarCt for free transportation cannot
| be said to be shipping men,
which is prohibited, nor acceptance of pas
senges traffic, as no passage money is paid
| The consul is empowered to command the
| Captain of q vessel to accept the men and
] the Captain cannot, under the American
law, refuse to take them This is the side
Of the question as presented by the friends
of the fishermen. Why the collector at
Souris declined to grant the consular agent,
| application has not been learned but it is
presumed that he thought he was asked tC
| allow violation of the law.
